Acts 21:1 Pa,tara {A}

Although it is possible (as both Ropes and Clark argue) that kai. Mu,ra was accidentally dropped through homoeoteleuton (patarakaimura), a majority of the Committee regarded it as slightly more probable that the text has been assimilated either to Acts 27:5 (so Blass and Weiss) or to the narrative in the Acts of Paul and Thecla concerning Paul’s residence in Myra. 371
